Proximity to Portland, Oregon’s largest city, plus hundreds of miles of groomed and ungroomed snowmobile trails through scenic national forest, make Mt. Hood a favorite destination for snowmobilers from all over.

Snowmobiling the more than 400 miles of groomed trails around Mt. Hood provides access to stunning scenery and an exhilarating ride.

Several Sno-Parks allow snowmobiling; permits are required.

Rental snowmobiles can be found in Government Camp and Boring.

Overview

The network of snowmobile trails crosses both public and private lands, and provides snowmobilers with some of the most beautiful views and vistas in the Northwest.
